Unit 5 Listening and Talking LISTENNG PART 1 As many countries speak English as a first language, there are many different kinds of English around the world: British English, American English,Australian English, and many others. Some English learners might ask, "Can English speakers from different countries all understand each other? "The answer is yes. People in these countries can usually understand each other with very few problems. There are differences in vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar, but those are usually not big problems. However those differences can cause confusion for non-native English speakers. For example, a student who has learnt British English might not be familiar with the different vocabulary that an American might use.
